An impromptu conversation between myself and Adrian Storey in a car park in Huntingdon. Recorded with the #Rode NT4 and the Rode NTG4+ into the Sound Devices MixPre-6. Http://Documentally.com/newsletter
Headphones are recommended. Recorded 24/48 with a Rode NT4 stereo mic. The forests and meadows of Northern Arizona's high country are populated by herds of elk, packs of coyotes and a variety of frogs, owls and other wildlife. Camping out overnight can be an exhilarating acoustic experience - as I found out... Waking up in my tent just after one am my immediate thought was that I had entered some weird spirit realm and was hearing the wail of a banshee - what turned out to be a bugling elk. The initial recordings were made on 4th September 2007. The main portion of the recording, an ethereal song consisting of a series of explosive elk calls, was made more recently on 10th June 2008.
